[NAGDU] {Spam?} Handle signs, and more on how to get my dog disengaged from people

[Dan Weiner]

I find that the harness signs  give people something interesting to read
while petting my dog--lolol

Anyway, never found they worked for mebut I'm not trying to say that someone
else shouldn't use them, just my experience.
Take care, everyone

Hi list, 

Interesting peace there about perception and the slight movement. 

Well, personally, I don't feel that signs really work. And I like the
psychological explanation. 

Usually Ijust tell my dog that we are going to continue and I tell the
person that my dog is off-limits when in harness. There are people who just
will never learn it and I have had to learn to not get excited over this but
just to get my dog's attention back as fast as I can. 

I might try the leash movement though I wouldn't want to do it when waiting
at a traffic light because I don't want to loose direction by
unintentionally changing my position. 

as for echo location and expanding perception I do feel that there is
potential there. However, i haven't really found a lot of people who
approach this topic with an open mind but stay grounded. 

Take care,

Bianka
